A definition is a rethorical pattern you use to conceptualize words. Definitions usually have a term to be defined, a general class word and a characteristic or characteristics.
Example A dog (term to be defined) is an animal (general class word) that barks has four legs and a tail. (characteristics)
1.the cube (term to be defined) is a prism (general class word), with six square faces (characteristics).
2.The complementary angles (term to be defined) Are two angles (general class word), that have a sum of 90 degrees (characteristics).
3.The polygon (term to be defined) is a closed plane figure(general class word), formed by three or more line segments that do not cross over each other (characteristics).
4.The parallelogram (term to be defined) is a quadrilateral(general class word), that contains two pairs of parallel sides (characteristics).
5.The polyhedra (term to be defined) is any solid figure(general class word), with an outer surface composed of polygon faces (characteristics).
6.The integer (term to be defined) are any positive or negative(characteristics)number(general class word), that does not include a fraction or decimal, including zero (characteristics).
7.The isosceles triangle (term to be defined) is a triangle(general class word), that has at least two congruent sides (characteristics).
8.The factor (term to be defined) is any of the numbers(general class word)or symbols(general class word), in mathematics that when multiplied together form a product (characteristics).
9.The trapezoid (term to be defined) is a quadrilateral(general class word), with exactly one pair of parallel sides (characteristics).
10.The obtuse angle (term to be defined) is an angle(general class word), whose measure is greater than 90 degrees (characteristics). Super
2. Using your own words, write 5 definitions about any mathematical terms.
1. The integer are a group theofnumbers that have not decimal part, thistheseare the positives, thenegatives and the zero. {... -2, -1, 0, 1, 2.....}omit the underlined the, t,
2. The origin is the point at which intersect the ordinate and the abscissa of the Cartesian coordinate axis.order... the ordinate and the abscissa of the Cartesian coordinate axis intersect.

Definitions
A definition is a rethorical pattern you use to conceptualize words. Definitions usually have a term to be defined, a general class word and a characteristic or characteristics.Example
A dog (term to be defined) is an animal (general class word) that barks has four legs and a tail. (characteristics)
Assignment
1. Now select 10 definitions from the on-line mathematics dictionary at:http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/dictionary/
http://www.math.com/school/glossary/glossindex.html
[[http://dorakmt.tripod.com/mtd/glosmath.html ]]
or from any other math glossary or dictionary and copy them. Your job will be to identify:
a. the term to be defined
b. the general class word and
c. the characteristics
1. the cube (term to be defined) is a prism (general class word), with six square faces (characteristics).
2. The complementary angles (term to be defined) Are two angles (general class word), that have a sum of 90 degrees (characteristics).
3. The polygon (term to be defined) is a closed plane figure (general class word), formed by three or more line segments that do not cross over each other (characteristics).
4. The parallelogram (term to be defined) is a quadrilateral (general class word), that contains two pairs of parallel sides (characteristics).
5. The polyhedra (term to be defined) is any solid figure (general class word), with an outer surface composed of polygon faces (characteristics).
6. The integer (term to be defined) are any positive or negative (characteristics) number (general class word), that does not include a fraction or decimal, including zero (characteristics).
7. The isosceles triangle (term to be defined) is a triangle (general class word), that has at least two congruent sides (characteristics).
8. The factor (term to be defined) is any of the numbers (general class word) or symbols (general class word), in mathematics that when multiplied together form a product (characteristics).
9. The trapezoid (term to be defined) is a quadrilateral (general class word), with exactly one pair of parallel sides (characteristics).
10. The obtuse angle (term to be defined) is an angle (general class word), whose measure is greater than 90 degrees (characteristics).
